THORChain is a decentralized cross-chain infrastructure that enables native asset settlement across multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. It is powered by its native token, RUNE, which gains value as more assets are deposited into the network. Users can swap native assets without relying on wrapped tokens, ensuring self-custody and security. The platform also offers features like savers vaults for earning yield from swaps and is designed to minimize trust while providing a scalable solution for cross-chain communication and settlement. THORChain's unique approach allows for seamless asset swaps and liquidity provision, making it a key player in the decentralized finance space.
